Best wishes! I hope that you feel better and that your surgery goes smoothly! Karen..aka.kll724

Check with the surgeon's office, they probably have an on-call person. They can advice you most! I hpe that you feel better. Make sure that you drink liquids so that you don't dehydrate! Karen..aka.kll724

msirish, good goals! Best wishes on your list! Karen..aka.kll724

I agree with both you, cg and cheryl! But I am glad to host, at least I feel with "host" they think our opinions matter, a little! Haha! We are all just learners in a world where there are few experts! Well ladies, stay or go, I love reading you both! You too B-52, & catfish!Karen..aka..kll724

I can understand you, there, Cheryl, people have beat you up, a lot! Well come visit and I, at least, welcome your knowledge. Karen..aka.kll724

I had a lot of liquid out days. You know, liquids in, liquids out. That might be causing some of your stomach pain. Best wishes, I hope that you feel better. It is worth it! Karen...aka.kll724

Best wishes, how are you now? It takes awhile for the gas to leave. As your nurse said, try Gas-x. Walking and heating pads helped the most for me! Mine got so bad that I even took some Tylenol to help the pain! Karen..aka..kll724

Well, I look forward to your wisdom, cg and yours, B-52. I, too, have thought about moving on. I miss a lot of the people that were her when I 1st came 4 years ago. I miss the ladies and gents who seem to have left when the new format came about. But, I think Alex wisely set up the Host format so that I and many others like me can go and try to say something to newbies or answer topics without and answers. Good for Alex and all us the oldsters!!Merry Christmas and happy New Year to everyone!!! Karen..aka..kll724

Congrats! And yes, walking is the best thing for your. Maybe sit in a lounge type chair, and relax! Take pain meds as needed, but don't over do! When drinking, remember to only sip, this is the healing time, so don't overdo anything! Best wishes, Merry Christmas, happy New Year. Enjoy your new life! Karen...aka..kll724

My incisions are like yours. and the large one is where your port is. It is, usually, the one that takes the longest to heal..Best wishes.Karen..aka.kll724

I took comfortable slip on shoes, and slippers, too! My hospital gave us robes because it was some kind of specail thing going on. If I were you, i would bring a robe for walking around the hospital, since you want to walk as much as you can. I would bring/wear stretch waist pants, like sweats, and a big comfortable shirt. You probably won't feel like wearing most bras, so a sports bra, too! Best wishes on your hospital time! Karen..aka.kll724

Congrats! The new year will bring amazing things for you! Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! Karen..aka..kll724

Congrats on your approval, new year new you, coming! Now, take a breath, breathe, you will be okay!!!Karen..aka.kll724

You are doing fantastic! Hurray and happy happy for you! Merry Christmas, ans Happy New Year, the new you has come already!!Karen..aka.kll724

Yes, normal, but, I don't know about you, I had restriction of sorts following my surgery, before my fill. I guess, as carolingirl said, I was lucky, too! I know I had restriction, because I had my first pb while not having a fill! Be careful what you wish for! Bets wishes, try to calm down! your 1st fill will be here soon! Karen...aka..kll724

You look great! So much younger and prettier! Congrats! Karen...aka..kll724

You go queensTy!Try not to overdo! Best wishes for super fast healing! Karen...aka..kll724

You probably just have excess Fluid weight gain. Your weight will drop off as Bandista said. Best of luck, tr to clam down. Back away from the scale!!You are in the healing process! Best wishes for your healing! Karen...aka..kll724

If you are having problems, as another person said see if they can fit you in for a fill before Jan 7. But, you know how much you should eat, try sticking to the plan. best wishes, Karen...aka..kll724

Ready, set, go!!!!Fills are personal, what works for one, won't work for others. I, personally, can't tolerate more than 5cc in my band, my daughter has 6,5, other people on here have 8,9 or more! Just o\don't make your band so tight that you can't eat, drink or even swallow. Best wishes for your restart. Karen..aka..kll724

Dang, you look good! I bet it is hard to recognize yourself in the mirror! You deserve all the praise that you get! Woohoo!Happy New year to new you!Karen..aka..kll724

That is a major NSV!!!!Woohoo!

So sad, I know several people who have lost relationships. I don't understand the jealousy. It is a shame that people can't be happy for you! Well, don't let it get you down, you sound like you are a positive person! Best wishes, maybe your attitude will rub off on your niece! Merry Christmas, back at you! Karen..aka..kll724

Congratulations you look wonderful and healthy! Hurrah! Enjoy your cruise. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, too! Karen...aka...kll724

Sorry, you are going to have to watch your weight, just like a diet until l you get your fill. Don't overeat during the holidays, it won't make you happy! Try hard to resist! Best wishes. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. Karen..aka..kll724
